Discovering Scotland: Foyers' Hidden Treasure
Jacqui shares an impromptu interview from her two-week holiday in Scotland after visiting Foyers Waterfall and warming up in the local cafe. She talks with Olivia Grant, operations manager of Boleskine Community Care, a charity that recently bought the Foyers shop, cafe, and post office. Olivia explains that the community purchased the only shop on a 35-mile stretch to prevent it from becoming an Airbnb and to preserve essential services and social connections in a rural area. They are raising £60,000 in community shares for working capital. Hear about author updates and upcoming events, plans more Scotland episodes in the fall, invites story submissions, and shares a small win of folding laundry.
